They fired a relative unknown to put Hayden Christensen in, well that tells me the studio has little confidence in the film itself. I hate it when studios take an interesting concept and then kill it by going for big names when they should know by now that the "name" can polarize people. After his acting in SW:RotS most Americans associate him with emotionless acting. I think the guy isn't that bad but c'mon, he's 90% looks and 10% talent.

I dunno...a part of me is extremely guarded about a film when I see certain things happen.

I haven't seen anything Hayden Christensen been in other than Star Wars II & III, but from what I heard you can't judge anyone's acting abilities from Star Wars I, II, & III because George Lucas was a very poor director in these films. Natalie Portman is a good example. I've seen a few of her movies and Star Wars I-III are her weakest acting. (That I've seen.)
